I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

twinkle twinkle twinkle...

Countless crow-blue butterflies stick to the damp and slippery well walls.They fluttered their wings slightly, and fluorescent powder rustled down.

Nether Butterflies are only summoned by Yin Qi, and there are so many of them now, there must be Yin objects in the well!

Jiang Miao held his breath, and plunged into the well water.Then, following the guidance of Yin Qi, he swam towards the depths like a white streak.

To his surprise, the inside of the water well, which looks very ordinary on the outside, is actually quite complicated in structure.The side passages are intertwined with each other, not like a well, but like a huge underwater labyrinth.

At this moment, Jiang Miao suddenly heard singing faintly coming from a deeper place.

"Looking like a frightened bird coming to take a picture, it's like a dragon playing on the seashore... Moving and leaning, hesitant and uncertain, watching the separation and reunion of the gods and the yin and yang."

It is "Luo Shen".

Jiang Miao's eyes dimmed, and he quickly swam towards the source of the sound.

There is a black cave at the very bottom of the well.The hole is not big, you need to curl up to get in.However, after bending forward for about tens of meters, the top of the cave begins to get higher and higher. Gradually, people can walk upright without hindrance.

Jiang Xiao grabbed his clothes and wrung out the water, then brushed his wet hair back, exposing his forehead.

There are more ghost butterflies in the cave than on the wall of the well before, and the entire cave has turned into a fluorescent color.A white light flashed on Jiang Miao's wrist, and he held the silver whip in his hand.

There was a wooden door at the end of the cave, and Jiang Xiao raised his hand to touch it, only to find that it was a gloomy wood.No wonder the door didn't rot even in such a damp place.

And that singing voice came from behind this door.

Jiang Miao settled his mind, and then pushed the door hard.The door was not locked, and after a hoarse sigh, it slowly opened...

"This is it!" Jiang Miao was startled suddenly.

In front of him was a huge altar, and in the middle of the altar stood a huge stone statue, which was exactly the same as the "Luo Shen Picture" hanging in the middle hall of the Tang residence.

Countless ghost butterflies danced around the statue of Luo God, reflecting the entire altar in fluorescent colors, with an extremely coquettish and ghostly beauty.

"Luo Shen..." Jiang Xiaowei narrowed his eyes and walked towards the giant stone statue.Below the stone statue, he saw an old-fashioned gramophone.The previous singing came from this phonograph.

Since there is a phonograph, there must be people here who come here regularly to check and play the film.In order not to startle the snakes and cause troubles in vain, we must not stay here any longer.

Jiang Miao's eyes suddenly locked on those underworld butterflies, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

That's right, Hades Butterfly, like vultures and other animals, has an extremely strict hierarchy within it.Butterflies with higher status can stay in the place with the purest yin qi, and then row down in turn, and those with lower ranks are only suitable to linger at the border of the yin source.

"Found it." Jiang Xiao raised the corner of his lips slightly.

Following his line of sight, he saw a dark blue butterfly parked at the position of the crabapple flower on Luoshen's forehead.

It is the queen butterfly.

Jiang Miao slammed the silver whip at the statue of Luo God, and the silver whip caught the hairpin on the stone statue's head like a dexterous long snake.Holding the silver whip in one hand, he leaped forward, and soon successfully landed on the forehead of the stone statue.

Ming Die seemed to be frightened, and waved her wings to leave the crabapple flower in front of Luoshen's forehead.Jiang Xiao suddenly discovered that the crabapple was actually hollowed out.

Holding the whip tightly, he half hung his body and looked from the outside of the crabapple flower to the space inside, his whole body froze, and his pupils dilated instantly.

Inside Luoshen's head, an amber crystal as tall as a human was hanging.Taking a closer look, the amber-like crystal is covered with layers of light yellow silk threads, hooked into the skull, like the nerves in the brain are still beating slightly.

No, not amber.

But a huge pupa.

A skinless blood corpse was wrapped in the chrysalis, curled up in a baby-like posture.He closed his eyes tightly, lifeless, who is it if it's not A Jiao? !

Jiang Miao gritted his teeth, grabbed the silver whip and circled around the stone statue, and finally touched an unusual protrusion at the earlobe of the stone statue.

He squeezed the bulge tightly and twisted it sideways, and the half-closed eyes of the Goddess Luo suddenly opened.Seeing this, Jiang Miao quickly dodged and slipped into Luoshen's eyes.As the small bumps reset little by little, Luoshen's eyes closed slowly again, returning to their original state.

"Ajiao!" Jiang Miao called anxiously, "Hey, can you hear me?"

……

Ajiao in the chrysalis did not move, and the only answer to Jiang Miao was silence.

"Wait." Jiang Miao tightened his grip on the silver whip, "I'll get you out now!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his whip high and slammed at the chrysalis.Unexpectedly, when the silver whip touched the amber chrysalis with the hurricane, it seemed to be suddenly sunk in the extremely viscous resin, unable to use any strength at all.

Since the whip didn't work, Jiang Miao quickly executed it with his hands.The little paper figurines flew out with a "whoosh," and then divided into several, with golden pupils appearing on their heads.

"Give me a blast!" Jiang Miao commanded angrily, and the golden pupils on the foreheads of the little paper people opened at once, and there was a burst of bombardment towards the giant chrysalis.

However, it still doesn't work.

All attacks will be absorbed by the pupa after touching it.Not only did it not damage it in the slightest, but it made it bigger and bigger.

"What the hell is this..."

Jiang Miao panted heavily, thinking that it's no wonder there are no deadly traps in this place.And just this strange chrysalis, the safety factor is enough.

Just as he was thinking over and over again what method he should use to attack, an extremely faint and familiar voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Jiang sir...Jiang sir, can you hear me?"

Ah Jiao? ! ...Jiang Miao was overjoyed!

After a brief silence, Ajiao's voice came faintly from far away...

"Jiang sir, this chrysalis is a special barrier that cannot be opened by ordinary attacks."

"What should I do?"

"Have you seen these butterflies? Each of them has different patterns engraved on their wings. Find a way to gather them together, and then decipher the meaning of the patterns, maybe the way to open the enchantment, and everything that happened It's all clear..."

Following Ajiao's words, Jiang Miao saw some strange symbols on the wings of the butterfly lying beside him, which looked like pictographs.

"Ajiao..." Jiang Miao took a deep breath and asked with his mind, "How did you get locked up here?"

"I don't know..." Ajiao said quietly, "I was sucked into this pupa by the old man who made the shadow puppet, and I was already trapped here when I regained consciousness. I wanted to wake up, but found that there was no There is no way, this should also be the reason for the enchantment."

"But... why can I still hear you talking?" Jiang Xiao asked strangely.

"Jiang sir, what you heard was from my heart. I was also surprised by this..."

Ajiao paused, and then said: "But I know, Sir Jiang's hearing has always been very good. I still remember that when you first came to Mingyuan, you could clearly hear me and Chi Lang when you stood downstairs. conversation, and that's when I discovered that your ears are very different."

Hearing...ears? !Jiang Xiao's heart suddenly trembled.

The scene of Onitsuka Corpse tearing off her ear before being silenced that day reappeared in front of his eyes.

At that time, he thought that the corpse woman was more implying the grass flute song, because he didn't feel that his ears were any different from others.

Now when he heard the voice of the sleeping Ajiao, he realized that his ears might really be different from others...

"Jiang sir..." Ajiao's voice sounded again, "Hurry up and find Chi Lang, he knows too many anecdotes and mysteries, he might be able to decipher the clues on the butterfly's wings."

"But you are alone..."

"You're just wasting your time here, you have to figure it out as soon as possible."

Jiang Miao stopped talking, nodded and said, "I see."

……

The rain finally stopped at this moment, but then there was a cool wind again, sending the slightest bit of coldness into the bones of people.

Jiang Miao returned from the altar the same way, and his half-dry clothes became soaked again.Even though he could barely rely on the jacket he had hidden to block the wind, his lips were still trembling from the cold and his head was numb.

"What happened?" A suit was put on directly from behind, carrying his remaining warm body temperature.

Jiang Miao looked back at the person who came, sniffed and grinned tremblingly, "How long have you been waiting here?"

"It's been a while." Qichi said.

"Where's You Ji? Didn't we make an appointment to meet here?"

"Still not here."

After Qichi finished speaking, he raised his hand to touch the back of Jiang Miao's neck.

Jiang Miao was startled suddenly, and couldn't help but took half a step back and said, "You, hiss, what are you doing?"

"You're completely soaked." Qi Chi frowned and said, "This won't work, let's go back to the hotel first."

"You can go to sir's side... Ah, Ah Choo!"

"Jiang Miao." Qi Chi looked at Jiang Miao for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Be obedient."

Seeing the other party sneeze, his face darkened even more.

"Hmm." Jiang Miao sighed, and felt that this is a special period, and it would be bad if he really had a cold and a fever.He took out a small paper figurine from his pocket and said, "Go and send a message to Sir You, saying that we will wait for him at the hotel."

The little paper man stood at attention and saluted, then flew out of the alley and turned over the wall of the Tang residence.

……

Fortunately, the hotel's hot water was quite strong, Jiang Xiao took a quick shower, and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.As soon as he sat down on the sofa, someone covered his head with a towel, and then moderately wiped his dripping hair.

Jiang Xiao's muscles tensed, it was the first time he was "served" so intimately.

"Brother Xiaohua, I can do it myself." Jiang Miao smiled sheepishly.

"I've never seen you brush your hair properly." The other party's subwoofer came from above your head, "If you find it troublesome, why don't you just cut it shorter."

"Ha, that's fine." Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and after being soothed by the hot water, his mouth became thinner again.

"I'll go buy a razor tomorrow and try it on my bald head."

The movement of the hands above the head stopped, and then the man said softly: "It should look good too."

Hearing this, Jiang Miao couldn't help but said happily, "You really imagined my bald head with you?"

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the person who was helping him to wipe his hair, and when he met his eyes, he couldn't help being startled.

The other party's pupils were deep and dark, and for some reason, Jiang Miao felt a sense of affection from them.His face suddenly became hot, and then he quickly avoided his eyes, turned around, and let the man continue to rub the top of his head.

The atmosphere in the hotel became subtle again...

"You haven't told me how you got it like this." Qi Chi asked slowly, "It doesn't look like you were drenched in the rain, but what kind of water did you go into?"

Jiang Xiao slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly.

"Damn it! I was so stupid just now that I didn't care about the serious business!" He looked at Qi Chi and said in a deep voice, "I saw Ajiao, the man under the well in the Tang Zhai Inside the altar... a strange chrysalis is sealed inside."

"pupa?"

"Ah."
